New York Mercantile Exchange

Six of us stayed here for the weekend and booked 3 rooms. The positives: - Great location! - Rooms are very spacious - The building has Black Seed Bagels and a Fresh Juice place as well a coffee shop - The lobby has a coffee bar and a drinks bar - The daytime reception staff and bell staff are very friendly - One of the rooms had a slight view of the empire state building Areas of improvement: - The hotel is very dimly lit. The lobby as well as the rooms are very dim. It is hard to get ready in such a poorly lit room - The night staff manager wasn't very friendly and borderline rude - There is no coffee machine in the room BUT coffee bar in the lobby makes up for it - One of the rooms had an issue with the drain of their shower and the another one had an issue with their toilet running all night - The queen beds are small for 2 people We stayed for just the weekend. I wouldn't for a longer stay, The dim lighting isn't very enticing for a repeat stay.

Nice hotel , needs a bit of tender love and care !

Lovely staff. Incredible property. The hype is real. This is by far and away the nicest property we’ve stayed at in Manhattan in a long time.
